'Working in the Borscht Belt: Tales From the Dining Room’.
Panelists will discuss their experiences working in the dining rooms of several Catskills hotels in their hey day. We will hear their personal stories about working and playing in “the mountains” during 60’s and 70’s. Hear what it was like to work seven days a week serving all 21 meals to stations of from 24 to 40 guests, with no days or meals off. Many doctors, lawyers and teachers earned their yearly college expenses in eight hectic weeks of summer. Panelists include: Myron Gittell, Alan Barrish, Lynn Skolnick and Marvin Rappaport.

I grew up in Ellenville. I worked the other side of the mountains. Tamarack, Homowack and Nevele. This brought bacck a lot of fond memories.

I worked as a busboy at the Concord. Looking back now 50 years later, that was the craziest job I ever had in my life. It was so mismanaged that it was amazing they stayed in business as long as they did.

Anybody every play "name the guest" with the other dining room staff? We always had "affectionate" names for many of the people at our stations. Example: Mrs. Bornstein was about 200 years old and she was known as "Mrs. Borndead" because that's how she looked. I worked in the area from 1960 through 1969...Spring Lake Hotel, Napanoch Country Club, Irvington, Brown's, Paul's.
